I am considering jumping into above ground pool ownership here in Central Texas.

What I'm most confused about is what size pool is reasonable. We are a small family with two teen boys, ages 12 and 14. We would love to have friends over to play, maybe 10 at a time? Size would dictate that a lot I'm sure. We have a 1/3 acre, pie slice shaped lot with the house set towards the front of the "slice", so most of the land is in the backyard. As such, we can handle a pretty large pool, but I don't want to over do it, especially with my kids less than 6 or so years away from leaving.

In your experience, what size pool generally fits such a situation? I'm not picky about shape, although an oval or rectangle potentially fits part of the property better.
